Zaria is a rising junior in Leverett House. Hailing from Kingston, Jamaica, Zaria is a STEM enthusiast with the hope of concentrating in Biomedical Engineering. When not struggling through her engineering PSets, Zaria can be found performing on stage. She is passionate about dance and can do a little of every genre (Jazz, Modern Contemporary, Folk, Reggae, Dancehall, Afrobeats, Soca etc). In her spare time she enjoys binge-watching Netflix series, listening to music, making TikToks or sleeping. Definitely reach out to Zaria if you see her around as she loves meeting new people and is excited to meet all the new FIPpers! PS: Even though Zaria is “fun-sized” she really believes that she’s tall and you cannot convince her otherwise :)
